F. Exigent- 1. Requiring immediate aid or action; pressing; critical.
The summer before 6th grade, my parents decided to redo the whole upstairs of our house by themselves, no contracter or anything. Since all 5 of us had rooms upstairs, my mom took Josh, Stephen, Caleb, Esther and me to North Carolina for two weeks to see her sister and mother. It was a 16 hour drive down so we did two 8 hour days. We stayed over night at a little hotel in Virginia. The next day held a very exigent situation for me. My mom and Josh went out to pack the car and left me in the room with the rest of the kids. Steve ended up chasing Caleb through the room because Caleb had his teddy bear. Caleb jumped onto one bed and went to leap to the next bed when his feet got tangled in the sheets. He wasn't able to make the jump and popped his forehead open on the metal bed frame. He shot up screaming and whipped his head around in a circle, spraying blood across the walls. His head was exigent, so i grabbed the closest towel, wet it and pressed it against his forehead as I called my mom for help. She butterflyed his forehead and we took him to the hospital to get stitches.

G. The book "Freedom From Fear" has to do with the word exigent. The book focuses on the 1930-1945, which is during the depression. During this time, the countries needs were exigent, because the needs of the country were very great at that time. Many people were unemployed, and the economy was very weak, and needed alot of reform, but President Hoover thought that the demands of the unemployed were exigent, and therefore did not pass any federal laws to help the unemployed.
